Today, we are featuring our newest necklace, the Glacier Crystal Drop Necklace.
Glacier Crystal Drop Necklace:
This necklace features many different size and shape Swarovski crystals. This necklace is only offered in three colors, crystal clear (as pictured above), crystal clear ab, and jet. Upon request we can offer more color options, but for the website we have the three main colors. This is because it would be hard for our brides to figure out which shape goes with which color selection. If you would like to see what some of the other color options are you can email info@bonitaj.com or call us toll free at 888-430-2623.
This necklace is a perfect compliment to the plunging necklined dress. If you are looking for a longer style necklace, this one works well for that too. There is a 7″ drop that dangles down the back, making this necklace great for a backless dress too.

We have recently created a necklace and earrings combo that is organic and unique:
The Fig Crystal Earrings & The Fig Crystal Necklace:
This pair is perfect for any season, but it’s original inspiration was summer! When we first designed these earrings we were thinking - fig - like a tree branch….which worked. But recently one of our brides told us she selected the fig earrings and necklace for her winter wedding because it reminded her of snowflakes and sparkly snow.
The Fig crystal necklace and earrings can inspire any season, just use your color scheme to lead you in the right direction. Crystal clears are beautiful on a bride anytime of year, but the crystal clear resembles winter. Hues of oranges, browns and golds are perfect for fall. Greens, yellows and peaches are perfect for spring and warm pinks, blues and coppers are great for summer too!
Use your imagination to get you an organically inspired jewelry set that works well in any color scheme.

This was an article we did for a make up blog and decided that it could be helpful for our readers too! So Enjoy!
Whether you are searching for the perfect hair accessory for yourself to wear on your wedding day or are looking for the perfect final touch for your maids, there are many different styles and options this wedding season to add that trendy touch.
For the bride there are so many options. Wearing a few crystal or pearl tiny hairpins placed throughout the hair style with a veil look sweet and simple. There are quality options that offer a wide variety of selections. A simple round or bicone (diamond) shape single crystal or pearl looks stunning for brides that want a simple but elegant look that coordinates with their dresses and other jewelry.

Brides may also want to opt for a dramatic and larger size hair accessory like a hair comb or tiara. A hair comb offers a multitude of options because it can be worn with almost every hairstyle. Whether you choose to wear your hair as a half up do and place the comb on the side of the head or you have a bun or chignon and place the comb directly on top or on the bottom of the bun – it looks great, adding a splash of color and sparkle. Tiaras are perfect for a very dramatic look that can be unique to each bride as there are thousands of tiara selections online and in boutiques.

A good tip in trying to figure out if pearls or crystals are right to finish off your bridal look is to look at your dress and other jewelry accessories. If your bridal gown has crystal or pearl or both embellishments – use those styles of beading in your jewelry and hair accessories. This will both help to coordinate your look together and complete the over all bridal look for your special day.
Bridesmaids often wear hair accessories too. Whether you gift them these little beauties or they purchase them for themselves, it’s a nice way to add a little glam to their looks too. Many bridesmaids opt to wear tiny beaded hairpins through out their hair style, which doesn’t over do the look or outshine the bride on her day. Another way to bring together all of your maids looks, while allowing them to be unique is letting them all wear their hair different, but choosing one hair accessory for all to wear. Hair combs work well for this because they can be placed in so many different positions to look fabulous. Smaller hairpins also are a great selection because usually they are very affordable, and offer diversity because they can be placed grouped together or spread out in the hair style.
Whatever hair style you choose for yourself and your bridesmaids, adding that special touch of sparkle and elegance to the hair is the perfect way to add that final touch. Having a quality product that offers multiple color options is the way to go. Swarovski brand pearls and crystals are beautiful, don’t peel or crack and have the truest colors. Swarovski offers over 25 different pearl color options and over 125 crystal color options, so finding the perfect match for your wedding day is a lot easier.
BonitaJ.com offers a wide variety of bridal, bridesmaid and flower girl hair accessories including hair pins, hair combs and tiaras. We are constantly adding new products to our website for fresh and new ideas. BonitaJ.com uses Swarovski brand pearls, crystals, pendants and briolettes for all of our hair accessories and bridal and bridesmaid jewelry.

Are all bridesmaids alike? No - and their jewelry doesn’t have to be either. There is a very simple way of adding a personal touch to all of your bridesmaids jewelry, while still coordinating your wedding colors and their dress colors together. There are a couple of ways to add that personal touch with the jewelry that you purchase for them to wear.
One of these methods is to purchase the same necklace for all of your maids - but give them all different earrings within the same color scheme. The second popular personalized touch that brides are doing this season is purchasing different sets for each bridesmaid - but keeping it all within the same color palate. Do you see a theme here? - Different styles - same color scheme.
We have a few examples of where brides have accomplished this personalized look using the same color palates and it turned out fabulous!
Our first bride is Christine. Christine had a beautiful medley of pinks, blacks and clear crystals in her bridesmaids jewelry and flowergirls jewelry. She took different styles of jewelry - that were unique to that bridesmaid or flowergirl and placed the same color scheme. Here are some photos of her wedding party:
Maid of Honor: Wearing the Bonita Crystal Jewelry Set in Black Diamond, Fuchsia and crystal clear
Another bridesmaid: Bonita Pearl & Crystal Jewelry Set in white pearls and crystal clear crystals
Flowergirl Wearing: Sweet Heart Pearl & Crystal Jewelry set in White pearls and Crystal clear crystals
Entire wedding party together:
Christine - The Bride
Chose to wear a gorgeous white gown with a pink sash
Her Jewelry: The Melania Pearl & Crystal earrings with white pearls and crystal clear crystals
Pearl & Crystal Illusion Bracelet & Necklace with white pearls and crystal clear crystals
Our second example is photos of earrings that are all within the brown color palates - but all completly different
Crystal Cube Earrings: Gold Shadow Cubes, Smokey Topaz Sm Crystals
Crystal Droplet Earrings: Gold Shadow - Crystal 1, Smokey Topaz - Crystal 2
Olivia Crystal & Pearl Earrings: Gold Shadow Crystals, Bronze Pearls
Pearl & Crystal Cascade Chandelier Earrings: Md Pearl: Bronze, Sm. Pearl: Brown, Md Crystal: Smokey Topaz, Sm Crystal: Light Smokey Topaz
Madison Pearl Earrings: Xlg Pearl: Bronze, Md Pearl: Brown
Single Briolette Earrings: Gold Shadow Briolettes
These are just some examples of ideas on how to personalize your bridesmaids accessories for your special day. The best part about all of our jewelry is that you can custom color coordinate each piece individually to match all of your wedding colors.
